The research results indicate that the principal component analysis method is a model with actual operation value and evaluation reliability. When the electromagnetic radiation is higher than 100 K, the growth and development indexes of E. pseudoconspersa Strand are correlated to electromagnetic radiation frequency to some extent.展开更多
